That all depends on how big of a wheel you plan on using. As an extreme example, a 2" wheel will be 10x slower and have 10x the 'pushing force' as a 20" wheel with the same motor gearing.

Do you know how to do the calculations? They are fairly straight-forward to explain if you don't (and it's okay if you don't ).
